An Open Letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Regarding Haiti
An Open Letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Regarding Haiti
It is time to change Canadian policy towards a nation born in struggle to liberate Africans from slavery. The Canadian government must end its support for a repressive, corrupt Haitian president devoid of constitutional legitimacy. For the past two years Haitians have demonstrated their overwhelming opposition to Jovenel Moïse with massive protests and general strikes calling for his departure from office.

Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, the international embarrassment is now spreading from the environment to health issues.
In 2011, Conservatives abandoned the Northern Dimension Partnership in Public Health and Social Well-being.
This is a critical international forum tackling major health issues in the north and now we learn the Conservatives are refusing to pay their outstanding dues.
Why are the Conservatives ignoring the health needs of northern Canadians and why are they further isolating Canada on the world stage?
Hon. Leona Aglukkaq (Minister of Health, Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency and Minister for the Artic Council, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, our government is pleased to have contributed to the Northern Dimension Partnership in Public Health and Social Well-being. In 2011, I informed the organization that Canada would no longer work with the partnership as an official member. Our government will continue to focus and prioritize its efforts to address northern health issues through other existing networks like the Artic Council.

Dear Friends,
I was very sad to hear the news about Jim Green and how he’s facing cancer.
I join the many people in our city who send him love and good wishes at this difficult time.
Stay strong Jim – we’re all with you.
